--- Comment #1 from Daniel Gruno <humbed...@apache.org> --- When to use quotes and when not to use them is entirely up to the person writing the configuration. It's means to encapsulate an argument as 'one whole string' since httpd will normally assume that a space is the delimiter for arguments, as with command line arguments on most platforms. A backslash is used to escape a quote, thus: <Directory "/foo/\"bar\"/something"> would be a valid directive. This is by no means specific to the <Directory> blocks, but apply to all settings. I had a conversation with bill rowe about this some time ago, and we sort of agreed that we should make the docs conform to a standard of either using quotes or not using them (I lean towards using quotes for directories for neatness sake and for the sake of cases where there's a space in the path). I'll leave this bug open as a reminder to take a look at how we write our examples. If anyone disagrees, feel free to close it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
